Wow, that was great. Thank you for linking this.

My only complaint is that it was entirely about m2f transsexuals. It would have been interesting to hear about the f2m transsexuals as well, instead of just that brief clip they show before the title screen. (As an aside, I loved her.)

I saw this last year. Such a heartbreaking film, but so interesting. Some of them are so much more hopeful than others, and seem to have so much strength, but the strange realities twist everything else around.

Definitely worth viewing.

While trying to obtain persmission to dress as a female, a pre-op mtf describes the inability of women to wear short sleeves etc. as limitations. The man issuing the persmission immediately objects that they are not limitations, but later agrees that females have less freedoms. Semantics are wonderful.

I keep shuddering every time I they mention the morality police. Very interesting documentary.
